Dang dude! How close are you runninf the cannon ball around the botrom? Rockfosh, halibut, and ling cod? Good on the table, but I would be really afraid of snagging a reef with my downrigger. We did that once in North Pass, and it was not good. I thought we were going to rip the boat apart. You are brave
Hey Alan thanks for stopping by and I can confidently say we fish all part of the water column! Sometimes we were trolling 20ft down, other times we were 5-10 feet from the bottom, and everywhere in between! We were constantly tinkering with the depth and location in search of schools of king salmon (and we found some bycatch along the way!). Sorry to hear about your gear snag up in North Pass! That must have be so frustrating! Thanks again and tight lines my friend! Captain Zac
Hey @PeterGajic thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed this salmon derby footage! In choppy waters it is always important to be careful when out on the rear extended transom! Tight lines! Captain Zac
